Abstract

A display apparatus including a substrate, a light-emitting device and a bank structure is provided. The light-emitting device is bonded to the substrate, and has a forward light-emitting surface, a first edge and a second edge. A length of the first edge along a first direction is greater than a length of the second edge along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction intersect each other. The bank structure has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is disposed facing the first edge along the second direction. The second portion is disposed facing the second edge along the first direction. In a normal direction of the substrate surface, a first top surface of the first portion is lower than the forward light-emitting surface, and a second top surface of the second portion is higher than the forward light-emitting surface.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A display apparatus, comprising:
